Nvidia Shield finally set to ship July 31

It's available for preorder now, but Nvidia Shield is officially in "full production" and set to ship on July 31.

Well, we've got a ship date. According to a blog post, Nvidia's portable gaming system Shield is finally "in full production" and will begin shipping on July 31.

Shield was originally supposed to begin shipping to consumers at the end of June, but the company postponed the ship date because of mechanical issues. As the company put it: "Last month, we made the difficult decision to delay the launch of Shield due to a mechanical issue we found in our rigorous testing process. Since then we have been working non-stop to put Shield through its paces and ensure it meets the highest quality control standards in the industry."
